# I want to use Anki instead of Quizlet. However, Quizlet only provides a very
# limited “export” functionality, that exports something like csv, but does nut
# support quoting. So it will fail if your separation character is either your
# column or row separator (e.g. if you have multiple lines in one field).
# This script takes unquoted data with uncommon separators (|||||| for columns,
# \n------\n for rows) and exports it as a more usable csv (quoted, cols
# separated by \t, rows separated by \n)

)
maybe_tsv = maybe_tsv[:-2]

f.write(maybe_tsv)
